If so, then I would recommend using Samba 3 + Winbindd. Samba 4 is meant first and foremost to be an AD DC. The file server parts are weak and don't handle posix UID/GIDs very well at all. It's actually very surprising how poorly Samba 4 is at doing this. It's like the Samba team left *nix clients out in the cold. I have Samba 3 + winbindd pulling UIDs/GIDs from another DC right now and it works great. Are you saying that you can't edit the nsswitch.conf to tell it to use winbindd?
